    Brett Johnson's book lists the contents...year to year. Do you have a specific model year in mind?

    Met Scott Emsley at Parts Heaven swap meet (Hayward, CA) in June. He buys and sells tools and kits and seems to really know the details. His concours quality kits are quite expensive. Email: rowdy205@cs.com, phone 831-626-0655

    Our own "Soterik" knows about as much as anyone I know. Well, make that more than anyone I know.

    Completely agree

    Tom:

    I agree completely. Eric guided me through the purchase of my early toolkit. Now I've got one in nice condition, and it is correct. There are a lot of nuances. I guess the question is how "correct" you want to be. Eric knows all the answers, and he is willing to help.

    356 Robo? I seem to have problems figuring out the new PM feature here, can't seem to reply. So, in answer, I was referring to Johnson's "Restorers guide to Authenticity" book...the one covering the early 911 models...

    Johnson's book is good as far as it goes. It lists the tools in the kit, and shows pictures of open kits from various years. But Porsche was not consistent in the "brand" of tools that they put in the kits over the years, and the types of bags that they used. Also, there are a lot of people out there that don't know much, and are hawking kits that are just inappropriate.

    There are some threads on this board about this subject,

    That should provide you with enough reading for the moment to totally confuse you!?!?!? Join the rest of us.
